I was wondering if anyone on here has owned or driven an Abarth. I'm hoping to test drive one at either Carlisle (if they have one at the test drive center) or the dealership I found thats in Harrisburg not too far from Carlisle.
My only worry with the car is the manual. The only cars I've driven with a manual are an AAR and a 70 440-6 Cuda', and that was awhile ago and that wasn't for long. More or less it was just me learning to drive with a manual. The AAR I drove first, and I stalled it...a lot. The 440-6 I didn't have as big an issue, but still not too good with the manual. I never had any problem shifting up or down after I get out of first gear, only when getting started in first gear do I have issues.
I'm just wondering Is the clutch light or heavy? And if you've driven either of the cars I've driven before the Abarth, Is it easier to use then the manuals I've driven? Thanks
